Answer to Question 3/30/09

Advertising affects/influences media every second of everyday. The different media outlets have different nitch markets that they cater to. In every article of Women's Health they have a section on of the latest fashion trends...they show you what is popular, how much it costs and where you can get it. What most readers don't know is that the "fashion police" at Women's Health don't pick out the outfits that are featured in the section. They dress the models according to the highest bidder. The fashion industry pays magazines to say that their products are popular in order to make them popular.
